Agreed. Completely unobjective garbage.

But since we're comparing dick size... er... I mean results I use 16 acres. Of course they don't give any details of their methodology since a real scientist would likely tear them a new ******* but I guess it is fun to play with the propaganda once in a while.

Good job JohnT, you win so far

12 Acres for me, sorry I didnt copy the breakdown, remember food was 5 something but suspect thats overestemated, I dont eat much (I found it odd that it dos't ask what your calorie intale or weight is as this would have a major effect). Likewise questions could be a bit more sophiticated.

And I'm pretty sure I underestimated my driving. I put 200-300 miles per week, but it's usually higher.

That test is really funny - could have been made by greenpeace or likes. The authors have certainly their feets planted solidly high in the air.
